Hi,the new version seems not to open the docx files. When I click on the file it opens the AOO window but nothing happens. Tried with different files, .doc work fine. The previous one worked with docx's fine.Mac, OS X 10.10.5

I can't replicate the problem with the few docx files I have available; they are all but one small files - less than 60 kb - and contain text only; no images or other embedded items. Are your documents large, or contain images etc?

I do have a 17mb docx which won't open in LibreOffice but AOO opens it, although doesn't display all of the 51 images it contains.

On some small sample .docx files which had previously failed to open, a fresh OO User Profile allowed them open without problem; however one large (380KB) .docx would not open either with old or fresh profile.

Similar problems have been reported recently, all from Mac users, with a suggested work around of going back to OpenOffice 4.1.5

OpenOffice 4.1.6 and LibreOffice 6.0.6.2 on Windows 7 Pro & UltimateIf you believe your problem has been resolved, please go to your first post in this topic, click the Edit button and add [Solved] to the beginning of the Subject line.

I am sorry but the files are confidential and cannot be uploaded in public.

I tried opening the file with LibreOffice to see whether I could obscure the content and post the file. When I saved the file as a .docx file I was offered the Confirm file format ..., message saying it has content which LO could not save in .docx format. When I went ahead and saved the file, the saved file then opened with AOO.

The conclusion is:

1. This file was created using MS Word. Its creation date is January 2019.2. This file has content which LO cannot save. The content is probably enclosed with <mc:AlternateContent> tags and therefore not part of the OOXML standard.

3. When the content which LO cannot save is excluded, the file opens with AOO.

There is another general conclusion. LO obviously does not support all the features available in a .docx file so LO is not a panacea for working with .docx files.

Edit: Further analysis of the document.xml file shows that the code which LO cannot save as a .docx file is associated with two "drawings". The first is coded as
